Thanks for this great ROM. It's a breath of fresh air for our kindles :good:

I've noticed since I installed it that when playing back videos (full screen) the center button of the main bar doesn't hide. Where can I find the setting to auto hide everything while playing back videos?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] davelinc:
Don't get me wrong. What they've done with the tablet itself is fantastic. And the price has allowed a lot more people to enjoy the tablet experience. I just wish they'd been a bit more forward thinking with the OS. Amazon have missed a trick in not realising how much people enjoy personalizing their device. We like our own photos as wallpapers and we like to organise our apps so that they are quick to hand. I just can't understand why, after doing all the hard work with the device, they seem to have employed a couple of sacked Apple trainees to design the OS. It's only because of the hard work and dedication of people like Psychophobia and Hashcode that this is now a brilliant piece of kit.

Yes, please, psych0phobia, is it possible to hide navbar in non-Amazon apps? There is no problems while playing fullscreen flash video, but MX Player and others can't hide navbar slider...

And thanks a lot for Kinology! It's awesome :good:
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Yeah I agree. Noticed the same thing and not really a big deal but would be nice. Even using apex there,s an option to hide navbar but it still shows up in some apps. Great Rom overall though, thanks psychophobia:thumbup:

On stock ROM video player can hide navbar slider, not navbar entirely, the only difference is that, and what we are concerned :)

Please don't get me wrong, but I believe this is not a topic about your tweaks. Is about this new ROM that psych0phobia brought to us. I'm no Mod, but it would be good to focus on it instead of posting about your tweaks every now and then.

Leaving that aside, Im downloading it (So haven't tested yet), but I'll report back if I have the same issues

Reporting some issues here. I've suffered 2 reboot already, and apps are going black from time to time. I love the ROM but that's frustrating. Is anyone else experiencing the same?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
That definitely does sound frustrating. I am not personally seeing issues like that, but I'm probably not the best use-case, given the constant tinkering to improve the ROM. If you are able to post logcat captures, or narrow down to specific apps, etc.... any details may be able to help resolve.

this can be themed?, is the system deodex too?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Yes, I'm sure it can be themed. Personally, I'll be waiting for the ROM to mature a bit before messing with themes, as I value stability over looks, but I certainly won't stop anyone else from theming it.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Jester6:
I haven't seen anything like this yet, just the inability to see the storage under device, but I froze and uninstalled some things so that is most certainly my bad.

I would try wiping system, data, and both caches before flashing as this sounds like symptoms of a dirty flash to me.

Well, just for fun - SoftkeyBar with transparent slider :D

Transparent Slider foolish mod

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Amazon apps can control the navbar completely. That's because Amazon knows exactly what buttons are relevant at what time - especially if it's safe to hide the drag button or not.

I can't generically remove the drag button for full screen apps. There's no guarantee that any given app would have a way to get out of fullscreen without a back button. And no, I can't say "just install a third party tool" either.

Hah! This is *exactly* what I was about to suggest! Well, okay, so I haven't installed it to look, but my suggestion was going to be to make the drag portion transparent but still visible so that it's less obvious but still usable.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] maelstrom2001:
Totally agree.

Yep, slider is invisible, but is there, and now 3rd party players and Apex in fullscreen mode looks fine :victory:

psych0phobia, thanks again, cheers!

Hey

Very fun rom coming from a new KFHD user. Traded out my nexus 7 actually just for the speakers and screen on the KFHD. Dramatic improvement and that's sad to say, nexus 7 was a good device, just so lacking where I wanted it.

So yeah really enjoyed the kinology rom, it will be my only Nand Backup. (I only keep one)

Great rom though :) really thumbs up. Wish we had some more Devs around this rom, seems the 8" version is getting all the love.

When I clicked the link, the same thing showed up, but when I pressed download, it didn't work. Got it downloaded now though, so it's all good.

Few questions.

1. I'm using nova launcher and in the app list, some apps show up twice, but in the kindle launcher they show up once. I assume it's something internal that I shouldn't worry about?

For example: Email shows up twice, Parental Controls, Photos,

2. I also have a KindleStoreWebApp in the app list, clicking on it doesnt do anything

3. The "camera" app, has cut off controls on the right side? As in the options circle isn't complete

4. When I go to the calendar, it asks me to add existing or new account. When i input my existing it says it already exists but i cannot sync my google calendar to it. I'm assuming i should just download calendar from the play store?

Thanks in advance.

Home Apex Launcher on Kinology 2.0.1

I also got that on Apex. I just went into the drawer settings and hid those apps (didn't know if it was safe to delete them or not). Doesn't seem to hurt anything performance wise and my battery is stellar. So I would say until we can get a more definitive answer from somebody with more expertise, just leave them hidden.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Coderedpl:
You're not understanding.

You go to that menu and tell me what I can select to synchronize my Google calendar
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
1. Yes, this is normal. Those apps have two entry points defined. Amazon's Launcher knows which one to ignore (you'll notice only one of the icons actually works), but other launchers have no idea, so they have to present both. I cannot fix this, as it's part of the app's manifest, which I cannot change.

2. Same as above, except that there's no working icon. KindleStoreWebApp is what comes up when you go to the Books tab and select Store at the top right.

3. The camera app in question is the default ICS built-in, and neither Amazon nor I have spent any time mucking with it to make it work well with the Kindle. I'm kind of at a loss to imagine the usefulness of a front camera on a glorified book reader. ;)

4. I think it was explained a bit by another response, but basically there are two options. One is to use Amazon's calendar AND sync service by setting it up as described a few posts back, while the other is to use Google's sync service and either Amazon's or Google's Calender app. Somewhat awkwardly, Google's sync service comes with the Calendar app in the Play Store, so you have to install it even if you intend to stick with Amazon's Calendar app. Personally, I recommend using the Play Store calendar route, as that way your data stays 100% with Google instead of routing additionally through Amazon's sync service.

Edit: Actually, after flashing Gapps, I believe that the first option may no longer work. The Kinology Gapps zip includes a CalendarProvider because Amazon's provider corrupts Google data every boot.

Anyone know if CM includes a custom kernel?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Coderedpl:
It does say "3.0.50 kernel (up from a stock 3.0.8 kernel). This includes updates from Texas Instruments, Google and Kernel.org." in the first post there.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] :
I think you are supposed to flash stock before flashing Kinology (when coming from CM). Can you still boot into recovery?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Coderedpl:
Maybe it only goes for "flashing fresh", because I had a nandroid of kinology, flashed CM, then wiped everything (except internal) and restored nandroid. Works fine.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] rabi347:
yup, luckily found my backup for kinology. What the CM10 did is, it changes the storage. So the nandroid backup was moved to a different directory. So I restored the backup and now I got Kinology back. But if I try to do a clean install coming from CM10, I guess we are going to have a problem, I am downloading the stock ROM, so I will see if flashing back to stock and then flashing Kinology will work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Coderedpl:
I have a Verizon Note 2, when flashing an AOSP rom there, it changes directories aswell, there is a "downgrade" zip that is floating around that changes the directories back to how touchwiz has it.

Disclaimer: i have not tested this on the kindle so if it bricks you dont blame me ^_^
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
I will need to examine CM and determine what exactly is necessary to ensure that Kinology can always install itself correctly. It shouldn't be difficult, but will take some time. Of course, when Kinology was released, there was no CM, so I didn't really have to think about it much.... The Kindle landscape is changing almost faster than I can keep up with :D.

After flashing CM 10.1 from Kinology I got the boot loop as well. However, I went back into TWRP, wiped the cache, dalvik and system restore and CM worked fine . You could also always flash the amazon ROM that's found on the 'installing 2nd bootloader ' thread and go from there.

i m going to install this, only one thing, in step four ( i have the old twrp and kinology) i have to flash first twrp, thenn amazon os, after that kinology and finally gapps? and my soft ky mod will work for this version ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Hey persano, you could just install the new TWRP first seperately then download everything from step 1a going forward and put on sd card. Go to TWRP wipe all (obviously except sd) and select all downloaded files to install in order. Worked great for me this way. Not sure what tweak you're talking about though :thumbup:

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
but i m in versio 7.2.3, if i flash it i need 7.3.1, if i download all, and flash all like you said?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Sorry it took me so long to get back working today. Like I said, since you already have second bootloader, etc. you can just go to Hashcode's thread, download the new TWRP, flash it, then download step 1a and forward of Kinology, do full wipe and then flash all new Kinology files in order. That's exactly the way I did it and it booted up flawlessly.

Edit: I see what you're saying. By flashinthe new Kinology, that will automatically update your Kndle to 7.3.1. Youdon't need to worry about the fact you're currently on 7.2.3. Just do as I said above and all will be taken care of.

Edit 2: just like flashing on a phone, when a Rome vets rebased due to a new base, you just flash the updated Rom and that puts your phone on the new base. KFHD and Kinology are the same. You are on base 7.2.3. When you flash the new Kinology it will upgrade your kindle to 7.3.1 automatically in the process :thumbup:

Download everything according to the instructions in steps 0 through 3. Flash everything you downloaded in order, all at the same time.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
That's the way I did it just to make sure the recovery flash took good before going any further. I just took it one thing at a time just to make sure everything went smoothly.

Yep then booted back into Rom, transfered files for the new kinolgy, go back to recovery and wipe and then flashed the new files.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
so if i flash all together according to the steps it would be good? and whats changed? more battery? i have deleted a lot on last kinology (amazon apps) i stopped one app and i think it is removable. tell me what apps are removable (i hate all amazon things)
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Only reason I reccomended persano do it that way, was when I tried what you suggested that put me into a bootloop and then I did some dumb stuff (not knowing what I was doing at the time and bricked my kindle). Second time I installed kinology I did it the way I described and it worked perfectly. Not saying there's anything wrong with what you suggested, just saying personally I had problems with it.

If you're going back to Kinology from CM10.1, make sure you wipe everything (including system) except internal SD card. Otherwise, you'll run into problems.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
At the time I was just the exact same as Persano. I was just upgrading from 7.2.3 to 7.3.1. Dowloaded all, wiped cache and dalvic, flashed EVERYTHING in order and it gave me a bootloop. I don't think I made any mistakes there. My mistakes were after I got into the bootloop. So when I got my new kindle, decided to do it differently and I booted right into the new Kinology with no problems. So not sure exactly what got me into the bootloop in the first place, was just reccomending it to Persano because it was successful for me.

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
i prefer to dont make this now :D, want to wait for cm, i dont want to make anything bad to my kindle
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
It's really not that bad, just have to do things a little differently. This is a great ROM and the new update is worth it. Just gotta make sure you perform everything exactly as written and make sure you have a factory cable is all. One thing to do that would be smart is to adb pull your boot and system images now just in case you get into trouble in the future.

from my Viped out one x
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
why you have to ask to amazon to send one back, you didnt have factory cable (fastboot) ?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
:D No I had one, I just tried to reboot into recovery using an adb command with my fastboot cable plugged in at the same time :eek: So I figure the factory cable was trying to send it into fastboot at the same time I was trying to send it into recovery. That equation = a kindle that is VERY much bricked.

from my Viped out one x
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] persano:
so it wasnt a bad flashing, it was an error xD
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
Well, think it might have simply been a bad flash even though md5's were good. I've had that with my phone as well, I just didn't know the proper steps at the time to successfully recover from the bootloop. That's why then like an idiot, I got all worked up about my kindle being in a bootloop and hardbricked my kindle.

from my Viped out one x

---------- Post added at 06:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:50 PM ----------

I think sometimes our devices are just so complex that sometimes things may not flash properly even if, like I said md5's are good. Don't know why it happens sometimes and I've flashed alot of Roms on my phone, but sometimes, very occasionally it can still happen. Usually it's just a matter of reflashing, just messed up the process on my kindle when I tried to get back to where I could flash the kinology files again.

Did you (or anyone else who hit this issue) include the Step 0a zip?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] jailuis:
I did. Beside it, I wiped system and did factory reset and it worked just fine.. no issues comming back from CM
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] rabi347:
I did not ( i did factory reset and system wipe after coming from cm).

So that means, we have to do step 0, if we are coming from a cm?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psych0phobia:
Thanks. That's the problem then. For the future (and I'll be updating the OP as well), if you're in this situation, simply flashing step 0a by itself will fix it. That zip is the one that includes the kernel/boot, so skipping it when coming from another ROM results in a mismatch.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] DroidIt!:
So, I came to this rom directly after installing 2nd bootloader, etc. I didn't do the step 0. So does that mean then that I still have the freedomboot as my boot or what. Kinology boots for me every time
